Man, though I already know most the tricks he used, I still amaze him,

This is so great.

Thank You for posting it.

I'm reading Steinmeyer's book on Thurston right now and it is SO nice to actually see some of the stuff I'm reading about!

I've noticed that all of the comments on this page to this point are kind and appreciative comments. Probably because those of us who have searched this out may be truly interested in learning the art of magic through it's masters, and not through youtube tutorials posted by amatures. Very good video.

Amazing to have something from that era, but too bad it is so edited. It would be great to see more of his sleight of hand work..Thanks for posting!

Thank you Rory for sharing this with the world, may we never forget the great Thurston. He and the other Masters, like Blackstone, Houdini, Dante, and so many others, set the stage for the rest of us today and should always be held as an example to what magicians/illusionists are truly suppose to be and how powerful a performer we can be if we follow their teachings. May your world always be filled with Magic and Wonder....

Thank you so much for sharing this, Rory.

Incredible.

Please keep them coming, as it is fascinating to see where we all came from (in a performance kind of way).

All the best!

This is a great historical treat. Thanks for sharing it!

that was awesome, thank you.

What a rare treat. Although they may not appear so, even in the slightest, many of today's acts show some influence by Thurston and other Greats of Magic. Thanks for sharing that footage!

Is that the music that Thurston used in his show??

[RoryFeldmanMagic]

Thanks for the question... This music was not used in Thurston's show. It was just used to create a "feel" for the video.
